Football fever? Yeah, we know a thing or two about it – but it usually involves a pack of Lions or wars that set state against state.

After a dry few months without footy, we leapt at the chance for more – even after we found out it was American. That’s right, folks: with February just around the corner, Super Bowl Sunday’s well on its way!

Forget those grudges and get into the spirit: great football, frosty beers, and early morning specials await at the Pineapple Hotel.

Still need convincing? Here’s our top 4 reasons to say ‘G’day’ to the USA way.

That sweet, sweet time difference:

It might be called Super Bowl Sunday in the USA, but Down Under (where we abide by the rules of EST), things kick off bright and early on the Monday morning. That means one thing, and one thing only: judgment-free breakfast beers!

Forget settling for any old Brisbane pub – with ice-cold Heineken schooners and a super special 9am opening, we’ve got everything you need to turn your regular Monday morning into a super one.

The commercials:

They’re big, they’re expensive and they pull almost as many viewers as the game itself, we’re talking about the legendary Super Bowl commercials! From the epic to the just plain cringe worthy, these 30 second ads are in a league of their own. Forget running to the bathroom during the commercials – you won’t wanna miss a second of these.

The food:

The yanks may know a thing-or-two about buffalo wings, but we know better. The true blue buddy to beers and live sport is a slap-up, top notch parmy from the Park Bar, and you know it! Nab one at half-time and fuel up for the most exciting part of the game: Justin Timberlake.

The half-time show:

After going Gaga last year, how ‘bout those killer live performances? From Beyoncé to Coldplay and those guys in the shark suits, the Super Bowl half-time show has provided more viral news and entertainment than any other sporting event. Paul Gallan aside, of course.

Don’t get stuck wondering where to go for Super Bowl LII – gather up the whole office and prepare to bond over beers, big ads and the best that Brisbane has to offer – any excuse’ll do.
